Wrong. A “whistleblower” is not someone who breaks the law, it’s an employee who goes public with damaging information.

It’s not a thief who steals data and releases it anonymously. And “whistleblower” laws do NOT protect against illegal activity.

The “whistleblower” would be protected under US laws if they had legitimate access to that data (ie. a CRU employee). Though the laws are convoluted.
If they are an outside hack, then they are clearly illegal.

And now I am really off to bed.
